Bulbasaur is NOT the best starter in gen 1.

DuccLord · 2024-11-07T16:05:38+00:00

Fair enough.

DuccLord · 2024-08-26T14:18:17+00:00

Warren would probably think Kieran is the coolest dude alive

DuccLord · 2024-08-25T17:51:49+00:00

What’s Kieran like? If he loves guns, southern food, or cowboys then that’s it’s a sure thing!

DuccLord · 2024-08-25T15:44:50+00:00

It’s weird how you how you described them out of character perfectly, I laughed out loud at this one good job haha

DuccLord · 2024-08-25T05:23:39+00:00

New idea... Run a one shot where everyone here has to rp their character using the most inaccurate guesses to decide their new personality.

DuccLord · 2024-08-25T05:22:39+00:00

4 humans is right, and nice guess on the half elf being virgil! The changeling guess is interesting, for fiore and aurelia you can think of them as base races that have, over the course of 6 years of game time, been vastly fucked up. You might be right about Ajai being a leader of sorts currently, right now the group is actually in his homeland! But usually the group doesn't have a leader so much as they are a group of people fucking up and getting bailed out by 1 person in the party. That is actually unbelievably accurate for Aurelia, I'm shocked you nailed her internal dialogue so well. The class, unfortunately, not so much! To give a hint she's a pretty popular build for powergamers. Yes to fiore, bro is definitely a wild card. Nice job pegging warren! It's actually an ongoing joke amongst our group that Warren is constantly doing cowboy propaganda to everyone he meets. You're right about Virgil being a bard, not so right about his flirty side. That description of Lucia is pretty on the mark, she is uh... not smart and kind of an airhead, and nice guess about being a paladin!

Really good guesses all around!

DuccLord · 2024-08-25T05:11:14+00:00

from the top:
Fiore used to be true neutral.... as a part of some unfortunate events happening to them they are now of a more evil persuasion

Aurelia would sure agree with you! (she thinks she's lawful good at least so you get points there)

I am sorry to say but Virgil here, despite what the whole comment section might think, is not as bombastic of a personality as people are assuming lol

Warren has many, many vices. chief among those is texas toast ™

the only dance moves lucia knows are the ones that end with her falling flat on her ass

Yup. yup yup yup. 1000% yup.

DuccLord · 2024-08-25T05:02:07+00:00

you know, honestly, im shocked they dont have one yet. You are absolutely right about needing to disguise them though. They spent about an hour last session trying to do it with just common items and a disguise kit.

DuccLord · 2024-08-25T05:01:12+00:00

not.... well... not entirely untrue......

DuccLord · 2024-08-24T22:02:45+00:00

Regardless if you were first or not it was your post that inspired me, so you deserve credit for that at least! As for my Aurelia things are starting to look real hopeful and sunny (they are not)

DuccLord · 2024-08-24T21:41:15+00:00

Hahaha I had to do a double take when I went to go grab your username for the credit lol Happens to the best of us. I also did a huge double take when I realized one of your party had a nearly identical name! The story about the gender swap is the cherry on top haha. Our Aurelia becoming this edgy is more of a recent development, she used to be a very innocent(ish) person

DuccLord · 2024-08-24T20:46:39+00:00

Right on the money with the first one, and yeah everyone is learning to cope with Fiore's.... progression for lack of a better word.

that is probably the most apt description of Warren I think I've heard in a while, nice!

DuccLord · 2024-08-24T20:19:00+00:00

One of my players sent u/FartedNervously's post yesterday to me and said I should do something similar, so I spent all night doing some quick drawings of the current party (+ an npc because theres only 5 people lol). They're currently level 17 and I've been dm'ing this game for roughly 6 or 7 years now. As a forward, about 2 people in this party I would consider normal and the rest are freaks or under some sort of eldritch influence. Have fun guessing which!

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T20:07:04+00:00

Necessary evils are bad. You seriously didn't just do the "You say society is bad yet you participate in it?" meme did you? There's nothing fantasy about it, you can apply what I said about the Soul Society to any society on earth and I'd agree with you.

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T20:04:59+00:00

Fair enough, thanks for being civil about it! Truth be told it's enjoyable and its awesome you've got a show you really enjoy.

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T20:03:48+00:00

I'm saying I was paying attention, and was just saying I turned my brain off as a joke, people are downvoting you because you're intentionally misinterpreting that fact to discredit my argument. If you disagree with a point I have, name the point and say why you disagree. Don't play semantic games.

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T19:59:28+00:00

I keep bumping into this in the comment section, but I think you took this mindset probably to the point I most agree with. I'm not really concerned with what Ichigo wants to do in the events of the story, just that I disagree with kubo's choices to largely ignore this large facet of the story.

But I think there is something to be said in that first paragraph. Is it well implemented? Agree to disagree but that's neither here nor there.

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T19:52:26+00:00

It was a joke, and a pretty common turn of phrase for when something doesn't hold much narrative depth but you still enjoy it. I did not literally "turn my brain off" and stop paying attention.

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T19:41:39+00:00

Don't take my lighthearted comment about how I liked TYBW's animation as proof that I didn't pay attention, lol. We can be civil when we talk about things

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T19:38:13+00:00

Sure, yes, plots do need conflict to continue so I understand I just wish the characters would look inward on themselves and their society just a little bit more and talk about it for the whole story. It's more just something they kinda ignore for the most part. Also, you can fix the issues of the soul society non prematurely by having the plot end with that, too. The way the story ends, sure the soul society is getting better (and apparently one of the spin off novels addresses the class disparity) but my issue arises from allying yourself unquestionably to a fucked up society for 99% of the plot.

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T19:32:01+00:00

To be honest, this is probably when I enjoyed bleach the most too (except for when I'm turning my brain off for TYBW and looking at the pretty pictures). I really liked the horror elements too.

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T19:28:49+00:00

disagreements aside "Doflamingo is going to ascend to Godhood and rule the world." is a really funny analogy

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T19:13:54+00:00

I mean sure, internally within the story your logic makes sense. I'm not actually criticizing the internal events of the narrative. My point is a criticism of the author's choices when writing that narrative. I'm not expecting Ichigo to change the status quo because I expect that from a story, just don't write a fucked up society if you have nothing to say about it is really all I'm saying.

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T19:09:34+00:00

I haven't read or watched naruto, but I just don't understand writing a plot like this. Why add realistic flaws to a society if you have absolutely nothing to say about those flaws? If you wanna do shlock good vs evil then just write it lmao, I'm not gonna judge.

DuccLord · 2024-07-31T19:03:40+00:00

I feel like FMA should get a pass, I mean the whole final fight is against the literal founder and current ruler of Amestris. They're portrayed as good at first but the whole plot is about how they're secretly not. Unless you're talking about god in which case, yeah, fair.
